"I do not believe I approved that Severus. In fact, I most certainly would not agree to it. If I only knew..."

"If you knew Albus, you would overreact. You would startle him and place me in a real danger." Sighed Severus, he did expect reaction but Albus was downright angry. "Would you prefer me strolling in the cage with a silver knife, not knowing..."

"Silver knife? Severus!"

"Albus if your assumptions are correct, and somehow they always are, what do you think would happen? If he really would need protection as much as you think... No one will pet him with silver, be sure of that."

"But to harm him..." Albus shook his head. "Do you think that is smart?"

"It is necessary. And I have a month to convince Lupin in the same. Provided I get your support."

"Do you have any more test?"

"No, that is the last one. If things go as planned, I will be free from his presence." He almost smiled at the thought. "For over a month, he is using pure silver when we dine. Not that he is aware."

"Don't you think he should know?" Albus sounded sharp but the undertone was pure approval, Severus suppressed the urge to smirk.

"Why would he?" He looked at the old man. "If you decided to stick to my plan, he would not know, not even half what he knows now."

"Why do you think I changed your plans, Severus?" Albus smiled, offering him more tea. He refused, standing up.

"I have no idea, besides annoying me, placing me in the position of discomfort." He sighed. "I do not desire to be inside your head Albus, too many intrigues, even for an ex-Death Eater."

"Always, so honest in face of others Severus, yet full of secrets."

"No one ever believes in truth Albus, you taught me that. Most of the times the easiest way to lie is simply to tell a truth." He was near the door when Albus called him again.

"Severus, did you manage to become friends?"

"No, but he does try to force that notion to me."

"Why?"

"I have no knowledge of what is going on in his head, no more than I know what is going on in yours."

"Why are you so against forming a friendship with him?"

"He is a beast and I have no use of friends."

"Is that a truth Severus?" He turned his head to looked at the old wizard.

"What do you think?" He asked and not waiting for a reply he walked through the door.

Let him draw his own conclusions, he would do that anyway.

He strode along the corridors, frowning at students. He did lie to Dumbledore, there was one more test - the final test before he put his head in a bag one more time. Entering his classroom, he saw few Slytherin's waiting for him. Arranging the times when they can come and talk to him, Severus finally reached his quarters.

He pinched a root of his nose at the sight of essays, he had to go through.

He tossed a look at another table with a research paper and groaned.
